The history of management systems is a determined by areas of cultural society development and its needs. Currently, there is probably no organization operating in a global market environment that does not have implemented a specific management system. On one side, that kind system allows transparently to manage all processes and aspects of the organization with the aim of their continual improvement and enter to the market. On the other side, it creates the space for bureaucracy and in some way restricting activities generated by the over-controlled mechanism. The pressure on organizations to continuously increase profits and reduce costs requires the development of such management practices that the interest should not have just a negative impact, for example in the form of loss of the existence or the organization's long-term state in the market. The quality management system was a support system in the development of other systems, through process approach (defined for first time in ISO 9001:2000) created space for the efficient management of preventing losses in the process. This approach had not been accepted or well implemented in practice. Assessment of potential nonconformity in processes, definition of responsibilities and measurement of key parameters had become more formal activity than reliable indicator for management decisions (Spisak et al., 2011). The effort to avoid crisis situations and reach responsible approach to control organizations (from the highest management level to the regional plants) was reflected in the orientation of the risk assessment.
